Tens of thousands of jubilant opposition supporters took to the streets on Friday against government’s authoritarianism.
The march was peaceful, but clashes erupted when protesters attempted to enter Malé’s central Republic Square at dusk.
Police say 193 people were arrested, the largest numbers arrested from a single protest in the last decade.
